My cycling mojo has returned now that a lot of negative sh!t has been disposed of, and my thoughts turn to Skye, and, here I go again haven't I said this for couple of years, a LEJoG or JoGLE on The Fast Tourer (to be built up).
Still too cold to go out into the garage and work, which is a shame as I have a lot part-swopping to do. The Kona will shed its thumbies to replace the stiff ones on Tufftrax 1, and the 8 speed XT Rapidfires will go on instead. The Kona will also acquire a hollowtech chainset and BB to replace the SR Suntour one that was on as a stopgap, and yield up a reasonably high spec front susser.
Meanwhile The Fast Tourer needs a bit of rubbing down/Kurust/primer/touch up at the BB shell and on a couple of bits of the seatstays, before a good clean and build up. All the bits in place bar wheels, chain, bar tape, and maybe some gear cables. It'll be a 3x8 Campag set up with the road Maguras to stop it.
